🌐 World Backup Day started as a Reddit post in 2011, timed just before April Fool’s Day as a reminder not to be the one who loses data because it wasn’t backed up.
15 years later, the principle still holds. The 3-2-1 rule remains the foundation:
• 3 copies of your data
• 2 different storage types
• 1 backup stored in a separate location
For individuals, photos and personal documents can be irreplaceable. For businesses, data keeps operations running and revenue flowing. When data is lost or systems go down, the impact is immediate: Lost productivity, missed revenue, and costly downtime.
